Today the National Assembly elected Chairpersons of two NA Committees.
Former deputy speaker of the Armenian parliament, ARF member Hrayr
Karapetyan, was elected Chairman of the NA Standing Committee on
Defense, National Security and Internal Affairs.
Remind that the former Chairman of the Standing Committee, ARF member
Artur Aghabekyan resigned office after the ARF-Dashnaktsutyun withdrew
from the Coalition.
BHK member Naira Zohrabyan was appointed Chairman of the NA Standing
Committee on European Integration. The post had been vacant since
Avet Adonts was appointed Armenia’s Ambassador to Belgium.
None of the MPs asked questions to Hrayr Karapetyan and Naira
Zohrabyan.
In his addressing speech Republican MP Edward Sharmazanov called on
his fellow colleagues to vote for the candidates.
BHK MP Aram Safaryan noted that Naira Zohrabyan is the best candidate
for the post with her professional background of a deputy and
journalist.
After the voting Hrayr Karapetyan and Naira Zohrabyan thanked their
colleagues for the confidence.
